I was thinking about Heracross and I realized that it should be steel type. I mean, look at it! Anyway, Heracross is also both bug and fighting type.
So my question to you is should some Pokémon be given three types? Are there any Pokémon you would like to see with a third typing?
Sure, because Pokemon isn't already complicated enough.
No, it would probably be too complicated.
Too many resistances and weaknesses to sort out for three types.
Fire-Water-Grass.
Triple Starter.
Hey, maybe we can fuse Pokemon and have a Trading Card Game built into the game.
(That was sarcasm, in case you didn't notice.)
how should heracross be steel? nobody thinks that, really. im more curious as to why charizard, gyrados, and tyranitar arent DRAGON! sure, charizard would become broken compared to the other starters, but gyrados and tyranitar are totally dragons!
and no, we dont need triple types.
Whoever actually wants triple types should just go die. Triple types would be retarded, and mostly agree with Chaos. Nobody, no one, NONE think Heracross should be a steel type (except you obviously), and Charizard looks like a Dragon is a dragon, but is still a Flying type, which is fine. Gyarados is a different matter though, it's a intercourse ing flying type with no wings, and no ability to fly whatsoever, what the intercourse is up with that?

It just always looked to me like Heracross was made out of steel.
No, it's just a _______ anthropomorphic bug with a _______ big horn.
no, it doesnt look like its made of steel. it looks like its made of BUG SHELL! just because its shiny doesnt make it metal. it makes it a bug. blastoise looks more steelish than heracross.
No
The metagame would become broken, stuff would be OHKOed by stealth rock
Yeah....it'd just be waaaaaaaaay too complex.
Of course, I do think some types should be changed around a bit, like Magnemite was.
Ice-Bug-Flying.
4x Fire
8x Rock
That's just pretty stupid, it'd lead to beyond annoying things to figure out.
THAT SAID, I'd love to see these:
Fire-Water-Grass like some others said, triple starter
Ice-Grass-Bug (a.k.a. the DON"T USE AGAINST CHARIZARD pokemon)
Dark-Ghost-Psychic the no possible weaknesses this guy will probably intercourse you up pokemon
And finally, my Electric-Ground-Water type just to make the weaknesses completely absurd.

He was only changed because he was made of steel and steel wasn't a type when he first came out. I only think 1 Pokémon should be changed type-wise, and that's Gyarados.
Oh yeah, and look how shiny Ditto is! He's also like a liquid!
(http://faqsmedia.ign.com/faqs/image/ani132.gif)
He should be Normal-Water-Steel!
No, it'd make things uselessly complicated.
Okay people disregard the intercourse ing competitive battling part! I know it would make things complicated, you guys are just +1ing at this point.
What I mean is, are there any Pokémon who should have another type to fit them, behavior and appearance-wise?

Actually I didn't read any of the replies prior.
The thing is I consider pokemon to be only competitive at this point; I don't get any enjoyment from playing through the story any more, so my pokemon-related thoughts are analyzed with competitive use in mind.
Thus; no, I don't believe any pokemon should have triple types.
Type replacements only, triple types should never ever happen, I don't care if it's a metal fish with wings, there should be no triple types. Nor will there ever be a triple type.
well, if pokemon wasnt competitive, it might be different. but pokemon not being competitive is like football not being physical. or chuck norris not being awesome. it doesnt work! pokemon is almost ENTIRELY competition. the first games had no other options.
I say we make a space type for a few certain Pokémon like Clafairy and Jirachi :B

It would qualify for many others too, but it's a dumb idea that will never happen. What's up with all of you and your retarded ideas? I often hear people say "They should make a rainbow type! and Normal is super effective against it OLOL!" and "The DS should have 3D battles because they can! Then when it happens, we can all complain about how much it sucks ;D"

I distinctly remember Gyrados having the ability to fly in the manga and even in the anime. He's based off the chinese dragon.
Yeah Heracross looks nothing like a steel type.
Exactly, the Chinese dragon, therefore should be Dragon, not fly.

With that logic Flygon and his prevo should be a Fly/Ground instead, yes?

Neither of them even look like dragons. The entire Flygon line look like insects. If Gyrados should be a dragon type, then Vibrava and the like should be Bug. Trapinch is based off of an ant-lion, which has virtually no relation to dragons whatsoever. Which brings me to my next point:
The only explanation there is to this really is that Pokemon is of
japanese origin, and things are going to be all over the place. Best not to think about it too hard.

Try not flaming everyone in the thread for having an idea. I think if they ever make another type, it might be Light (though I doubt they will.) Gogogo, flame me now :/

Really? I think not, pointing them out is not posting a paragraph on why you find them stupid, and calling the idea retarded multiple times. The opinions aren't even stupid at all :/
Also to everyone else, they probably made Gyarados Water/Flying instead of Dragon so it wouldn't be broken as hell.
Kingdra has lesser stats and a smaller movepool, and still fairs extremely well in OU.

Well of course I point out the reason I find it stupid, not pointing out a reason is partly how I got this rank. And if I didn't point out the reason, people like you would call me stupid for calling something stupid for no reason.
I also don't say something is retarded multiple times (in the same post).
Also, they indeed are stupid ideas, I just don't like to suck everyone's dick to make them feel better.
I am actually fine with triple typing as long as it is a select few Poke's, and they implement it so that the type's don't make the Poke either 8X weak or 1/8X strong against another type.
I think Ice/Dragon?Flying would work... but I don;t remember if Ice or dragon is weak to rock.
It would be complicated... but some combination should work.
Before triple typing, I want to see weird double combination.
Bug/Ice
Dark/Dragon
Fire/Ice
triple typing is one of the most retarded ideas ever. it would make the game too complicated (it already is complicated) and there's not even a lot of pokemon that it would apply too so what's the point.
the day they put something like that in the game is when i quit.
heracross doesn't look steel at all. if he had any other type it would be flying. i mean, he had wings in the anime.
Complicated...
All you have to do is multiply one more set of damage modifiers.
As long as no Poke has damage against them multiplied by 8 or.125, it should be fine.
Assuming we get a next gen, I see it as a possibility... maybe for a legendary.
It will never happen, not even for a legendary.
I guarantee it.

BoSD rocks huh? D:
Anyway, it is not impossible, and with so many pokemon already... the creativity well must be running pretty dry.
